So Will I / 100 Billion X

Song based on the Bible verse:
Psalm 148

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
Praise Him in the heights!
2 
Praise Him, all His angels;
Praise Him, all His hosts!
3 
Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!
4 
Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!
5 
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For He commanded and they were created.
6 
He also established them forever and ever;
He made a decree which shall not pass away.
7 
Praise the Lord from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths;
8 
Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
9 
Mountains and all hills;
Fruitful trees and all cedars;
10 
Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl;
11 
Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
12 
Both young men and maidens;
Old men and children.
13 
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 
And He has exalted the horn of His people,
The praise of all His saints—
Of the children of Israel,
A people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!

1
God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light

And as You speak
A hundred billion galaxies are born
In the vapour of Your breath the planets form
If the stars were made to worship so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve made
Every burning star
A signal fire of grace
If creation sings Your praises so will I

2
God of Your promise
You don’t speak in vain
No syllable empty or void
For once You have spoken
All nature and science
Follow the sound of Your voice

And as You speak
A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath
Evolving in pursuit of what You said
If it all reveals Your nature so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You say
Every painted sky
A canvas of Your grace
If creation still obeys You so will I

If the stars were made to worship so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high so will I

If the wind goes where You send it so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times

3
God of salvation
You chased down my heart
Through all of my failure and pride
On a hill You created
The light of the world
Abandoned in darkness to die
 
And as You speak
A hundred billion failures disappear
Where You lost Your life so I could find it here
If You left the grave behind You so will I
I can see Your heart in everything You’ve done
Every part designed in a work of art called love
If You gladly chose surrender so will I

I can see Your heart
Eight billion different ways
Every precious one
A child You died to save
If You gave Your life to love them so will I

Like You would again a hundred billion times
But what measure could amount to Your desire
You’re the One who never leaves the one behind
